Smooth Mover
The super smooth, rugged, and just released PTFE swivel range from Thinking Anglers are our top pick for people tying up Ronnies and Hinge Rigs. But before all the deets on those, they also have a new leader material out…
A clutch of new Thinking Anglers products landing with a thud on shop shelves is always an exciting time for tackle geeks like us, so let’s delve into what’s just appeared and run the rule over these new items.
1. Sub-Fleck Lead Free
This heavy and splicable leader material is made from a dark camo-flecked weave and is lead free for suppleness. It’s extremely fast sinking and made entirely from PTFE fibres which are individually coloured rather than dyed as one, so Sub-Fleck’s colour and pattern won’t fade. With a 45lb breaking strain it’s available in 10m and 20m spools. £13.49
PTFE Quick Change Swivels
Perfect for use in making Spinner or Ronnie Rigs when using looped booms, these size-11 Quick Change Swivels are built to withstand heavy battles. The extra-strong wire crook has been made as narrow as possible for neatness and strength, while the PTFE coating allows for the slickest rotation possible. Ring swivel versions are also available for use with knotted booms. £5.49
PTFE Size 11 PTFE Swivels
Available in packs of 10, these smaller swivels (size 11) are ideal for use in mini lead clips or controller floats, or in the construction of Hinged Stiff Rigs and other set-ups. They are PTFE coated to twist as freely as possible to prevent tangles. £4.49
PTFE Size 20 PTFE Hook Swivels
With a standard-sized swivel eye at one end and a micro eye at the other, these swivels are perfect for mounting baits to hooks. The smaller eye slips easily into your bait while the larger eye gives free movement where you need it on the hook shank. £3.25
